Worlds Apart, or is it...?

III

<? POV>

"Hello there," I said while waving my hand towards the girl.

"H-hello..." she said she stuttered.

Cute...she's cute

"Nice to meet you," I replied.

"I'm-"

I woke up to hear loud noises from the living room.

I just stared at the ceiling.

"Cute..."

That's the first thing that I said after I woke up from my dream. I can feel myself smiling for no reason at all.

I can remember the scene clearly in my head. Waking up to see I was sitting on a chair with a piano in front of me, playing it for no reason, a girl stood by the door that scared me a little but I decided not to show it, she came into the room after I signaled her to come in, then after that, we said our hellos and last but not least, I decided to introduce myself but to no avail.

I looked at the clock that was on my nightstand beside my table.

7:00 pm huh?

"Ok, that was a 2-hour nap," I said to myself as I spring out of bed as I tidy my hair that is covering my eyes.

As I was about to exit my room, I grabbed my phone to check if I have any new messages. And there is one, from Jin-Hyung that was sent 30 minutes ago. I opened my phone to see the message more clearly.

"I know that you are asleep right now but I just want to let you know that I decided to go get groceries on the way there because YOUR BROTHER EATS THEM ALL (DON'T INCLUDE ME). And because of that, I can't do a mukbang while watching the tv T-T."

I decided to message back because messaging couldn't hurt anybody.

"Got it Hyung. By the way, what time are you going home?"

Just as I was about to touch my door knob, my phone started to buzz. I looked at it to see that I received a reply from Jin-Hyung.

"OMG, YOU'RE STILL AWAKE? I thought that you would be asleep by now?"

"Just get to the point," I replied.

"Fine...I'm not your fav Hyung anymore."

"You're my one and only Hyung," I replied with a little smile on my face.

"Yeahhhhh, I know that."

"Anyways, since I still luv you, I will tell you what time I will reach home. Maybe in 5 minutes?"

"Okok, thanks," I replied.

"Your welcome ma child<3"

"<\3" I replied as a joke.

"And I love you too (as a friend of course)" Jin-Hyung replied.

After 'chatting' with Jin-Hyung for a very long time, I glanced away from my phone as I sighed because it drained my energy for some reason.

Jin-Hyung is some sort of a parent to me and Ji-hoon I guess. He is only 21 years old -a year older than me and two years older than my brother- but he treats us like his kids. Like one time, when I and Ji-hoon first arrived in America. He brought like, 3 banners to welcome me and Ji-hoon.

Memories..., I sighed as I recalled that memory.

"HYUNG! COME PLAY OVERWATCH WITH ME!" someone shouted as I exit my room.

I saw my brother who just shouted at me, playing overwatch in the living room. I decided to ignore him because that's what I usually do.

After one whole minute of silence, I noticed that something was off, again.

"What do you need?" I asked as I turned around to see my brother following me secretly.

Well, it's not a secret anymore because I caught him.

"Come on, Hyung. Just one game. Please?" He begged me with his puppy eyes as I turned around, back-facing him.

"Ji-hoon, your puppy eyes can't affect me," I said while I was walking towards the refrigerator as he pouts walking toward me.

"And please, don't pout, your clearly what? 19 years old." I added making him mad.

I grabbed my ramyeon with my other hand and put it on the table with my phone as I sat down on the chair.

"Well, at least I'm still in my 10s while you're already 20." He said as he laughed while standing beside me.

I'm not in the mood in fighting my brother so I just ignored that comment.

"Well, don't bother me, I'm tired," I said as I ate my ramyeon.

"Aish, you are always tired. Welp, if you don't want to, then don't," he said as he walked towards the sink to wash his hands after eating a bag of chips while playing Overwatch.

I looked at my phone to check the time.

7:03 pm

I suddenly smile after remembering that Jin-Hyung's supposed to be back at 7:05 pm.

"By the way Ji-hoon," I said as he turns around, facing me while giving me a questioning look.

"Yes???" he questioned.

"Jin-Hyung told me that he's coming back in 2 minutes, so, I suggest you started cleaning now," I said as I lifted my head and pointed towards the stack of trash beside the sofa. Ji-hoon started at it out of horror.

"OH.MY.GOSH, HYUNG, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?! JIN-HYUNG'S GOING TO KILL ME!" he somewhat yelled at me as he ran towards the living collecting and cleaning his mess.

Welp, two minutes have passed and Ji-hoon still hasn't finished cleaning yet.

He's even slower than me now, I thought to myself as I chuckled.

After a few seconds, someone opened the door.

"J-jin-Hyung?!" my brother said nervously.

Jin-Hyung was so happy when he got inside the house. But the moment he saw Ji-hoon's mess, oh boy, you could've seen his face. It was PRICELESS.

"Ji-hoon, what did I tell you about making a mess in this shared apartment?" Jin-Hyung said with a smile as he put the groceries down on the floor.

I don't know why, but he sounded scary.

"H-Hyung, please, I-I can explain-"

In the next second, Jin-Hyung is already holding a broom in his right hand.

What the- where did he get that?

"JI-HOON!" Jin-Hyung shouted at Ji-hoon making him flinch and run around the house while I silently watch the drama from the kitchen.

Now that was fun.
